About Wayfinder
Established by the Centre for Supply Chain and Logistics at Deakin University, Wayfinder is an industry partnership program that is responding to a major supply chain and logistics workforce challenge.
The world’s supply chains have become much more complex, thanks to a combination of a highly competitive fast changing environment, changing consumer expectations, increased risks and the impact of emerging technologies, and it’s driving a world wide talent shortage in the sector.
It also means that work in the supply chain sector has got a whole lot more interesting!
Wayfinder research indicates that improving the gender balance of our supply chain workforce makes for better business for all!
